Also, notice the word "primary." It means that Lincoln wasn't opposed to doing things that would weaken "the slave power" if those things didn't threaten the union.

Kinda like that other race obsessed liberal lawyer from Illinois. Obama did everything he could to undermine the rule of law regarding things he disagreed with. Lincoln could have been counted on to manipulate enforcement (In the manner that Antifa burning buildings, cars and assaulting people in Washington DC doesn't get prosecuted, but standing on the grounds does) to favor his preferred outcome.

Eisenhower didn't agree with the Supreme court decision forcing that college to accept black students, but he sent troops there to ensure the rule of law would be enforced. He did not try to undermine the rule of law through the levers of government power.

False. Eisenhower did what Lincoln would have done. He used his appointment power to build the Republican Party in states where it barely existed before.

I suspect he also appointed judges who enforced the desegregation orders. That was what segregationists feared in his day and what slaveowners feared a century before.

Ike was very much following in Lincoln's footsteps, as was recognized at the time.
